Starting Quarterback is a 2025 American action-comedy short film written by David Vorderstrasse and directed by Parker Viale. The film follows two former high school football rivals—now working as CIA operatives—as they reunite to take down a violent drug cartel. Mixing espionage antics with locker room grudges, the film balances absurdist humor and stylized action in a genre mash-up.
The film is scheduled for a limited theatrical release in California on August 15, 2025, with a Blu-ray release and digital streaming to follow later in the year.[3][4]
Plot
Years after high school, washed-up quarterbacks Dave Krugle and Matt Anderson have taken very different paths—until fate (and the CIA) throw them back together. Assigned to the same covert operation, the two must overcome their petty rivalry to take down a dangerous cartel threatening national security. With more brawn than brains and almost no espionage training, Krugle and Anderson stumble through shootouts, botched stakeouts, and unresolved drama from a high school game they still won't shut up about.[5]
